Death of Queen Elizabeth
The Queen Mother

Please find below Guidance for Schools from the DfES on the mourning arrangements following the death of the Queen Mother.

Schools are expected to remain open but the Royal Family and the Government suggest that on the day of the funeral head teachers may wish to consider whether the school timetable might be adjusted to enable children to mark the event in some appropriate way, for example by viewing the funeral on television. The funeral will take place at 11.30 am on Tuesday, 9th April. at Westminster Abbey.
